Richard Carpenter "has had his day" as an Albion player

[London Irish]

Do you agree with this statement?

 

[London Irish]

Anyone who saw his performance at Nottm Forest would say he has not "had his day", surely? Discuss

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Yep - his legs have gone.

He will do a job, as he did yesterday, but his best days are long gone

 

[Beach Hut]

HAS Had His Day - get your spelling write journo

A fairer poll would probably be " Richard Carpenter is off the pace as a central midfielder in this division and his form has been poor since he came back from his injury last year. Do you agree with this statement?".

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I wasn't there yesterday, but Chippy is getting older and should of been released at the end of last season.

 

[algie]

Carpenter still has a role this year but not as a regular

 

[London Irish]

Now I agree that his "best days" are gone, that's obvious. But that's not the poll question, "had his day" as an Albion player means past it, finished, should be dropped never to return.

This season i haven't been convinced by him at all.Still worth having in the squad for one more season as back up

I notice the fact that of all the anti-Carpenter quotes in that thread, it was probably the most controversial statement of them all (and also one which depends on your definition of 'had his day')

That's two seperate questions and people could easily have different answers to them both. But anyways, the terms of the poll are set and are based on a statement by one of the Turienzo twins (I forget which) that Richard Carpenter has "had his day" as an Albion player - further, they say this is the "popular" opinion of NSC. This poll will find out not whether they are correct, but whether their opinion that Chippy should be dropped never to return is "popular" or not.

Hart

Now, i know you are a journalist, but is there actually a stonewall definition of that phrase? Because i'm fairly sure the statements meaning is open to opinion?!?!

 

[London Irish]

You can't even get the question right

He has obviously "had his day," ie his best days are behind him. He is 34 for christ sake! I would be surprised if any 34 year old HADN'T got their best football behind them - this is nothing to do with Richard Carpenter at all!

The question was based on your very words. Or your alter ego's. I can't remember which and it's not reasonable for me to because you are identical, in NSC terms at least

That's my reasonable interpretation. You have yours. NSC voters can make up their own minds
